I hate those people on their high-horses saying "don't do drugs", as they've got a cigarette in their mouth, a half opened bottle of jack on the living room table, an espresso machine in their kitchen, and a cabinet full of pharmaceutical **** that's far worse for you than cannabis will ever be.

You know where I stand on the drug-war, that's a different topic for a different thread. Personally, I'd get clean if I knew in advance I had an interview for the initial piss test, but I wouldn't work anywhere that randomly drug tests; there are plenty of places that stop after the initial test. I plan on teaching, & so I know they aren't going to be chasing around all the professors with piss-cups.

Don't be so sure about that "not chasing around with piss cups".

I never thought I'd see the day when the State of Texas randomly drug tested employees, because of the expense.
Now, granted, I've been employed for 2.5 years with the agency and I haven't been tested except at time of employment....so....

Very easy indeed. Not criticizing anyone who does it but if you have to ask how to either fake a drug test or pass it b/c you know you're ****ed if you don't, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Does anyone have any helpful hints or tips? I've been clean for a little over a week. I have been drinking exclusively water but just took a at home test and feel fairly ****ed. It's for a internship so it could be worse, but I'd like to pass.Thanks

Don't take any pills or drinks. Why leave it up to chance? This works everytime:

When alcohol and or smoking cigs/cigars is illegal and affects job hirings, we can pick this discussion back up.

Not my point.

What you meant to say was "Don't do illegal drugs", not "Don't do drugs". Saying "Don't do drugs", while you either drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, drink coffee, or take pharmaceutical drugs, or whatever else, makes you a hypocrite.

Like I said, the legitimacy of the illegality of some of those drugs is a discussion for a different thread.

Exactly. Isn't the definition of addiction when you let it affect your job?

"It's just an internship."

No. Not it's NOT just an internship. This is how you get references and contacts, and build
yourself as a human being. An ex GF of mine did a Nuclear Pharmacy internship with a provider, and
was hired at the end of her junior year, pending her graduating. She literally had a job awaiting her
when she left college, and had location choices, etc.

Go ahead and **** up internships. It's not a death knell, but it's not very ****ing smart either.

I didn't mean it like "it's just a internship" but it's not a job that is all I meant.

Im not happy in the least bit that I have to ask. I applied for the internship before summer let out and had not heard back from them until a week before school started. Had I known I was still being considered I would have stopped long ago. It's not just a internship, it's the internship of all internships. I am sure half my school applied for this internship and they chose me. #1 city private club in the states and I'm going to **** it all up.

Regardless of what happens I'm done with the ricky. It's not something I need and it's definitely not something I'm proud of.

For the record I already have a job lined up when I graduate. I also have another internship site that I'm currently working at. I'm not a addict who lives off this ****. Just someone who started experiencing with drugs after going his whole life never doing it. It's something I've always been around but never felt the urge to try until a year ago. Whether I get the job or not I've learned a lot through the process.

Im just going to continue drinking water and hope for the best. Maybe go and buy another piss test the night before. 13 days sober might just be enough. I really don't know.

Completely agree but again, I had no idea I was even being considered for the internship. I had lined up two other internships which didn't drug test so i thought i wouls be fine. This is the restaurant industry and I've been around people doped up on coke that function perfectly fine. Never even thought about getting drug tested which still is no excuse. Because had I known this internship was still a possibility I would have stopped long before. Either way I messed up and whatever the outcome may be, I've learned my lesson and won't do it again.

For the record I'm not looking for ways to smuggle synthetic piss in or have a buddy pee in a cup. I was looking for ways to flush my system naturally. I drink so much water as it is and will continue to do so up until the test and even after.
